Billy Hamilton's ninth-inning, game-winning single capped a big day for the leadoff hitter and finished Cincinnati's biggest comeback of the season for a doubleheader sweep of the visiting Cubs on Tuesday.

"I love 'em," said Hamilton of clutch moments. "I want to be the guy in a situation like that."

Hamilton, right, went 4-for-8 on the day with a double, triple, run scored, two RBIs and two stolen bases. He has driven in six runs in the series so far.

"Let's play three!" Hamilton said. "I'm ready to go right now."

-- Rookie Jacob deGrom struck out 11 in seven shutout innings and also delivered a table-setting hit from the No. 8 spot in the batting order as the host Mets beat the Braves 8-3.

-- Rookie Kolten Wong gave the Cardinals a ninth-inning walk-off homer for the second straight game, beating the Pirates 5-4 in St. Louis. He also had a two-run double.

-- Vidal Nuno threw seven innings of three-hit shutout ball in his Diamondbacks debut, but the bullpen let the victory get away, 2-1, to the visiting Marlins. Nuno, a 26-year-old making his 18th major-league start, was acquired from the Yankees on Sunday.
